This morning I overslept. I knew it would probably happen as I woke up around 8 and then went back to bed until my alarms went off. I woke up an hour later. Sigh.

I got up, made tea, had breakfast, the usual. I did a bit of housekeeping today too, lovely things like cleaning the toilet…oh joy. Still, it had to be done.

I did a 40 minute workout today. I’ll likely do a less strenuous one tomorrow, but I did quite well for today I think. I had lunch early on and then did my computer stuff. I was supposed to go to the post office to mail my Christmas Cards, but it started to rain, so I didn’t go.

Broadchurch was on again today, so I watched the last episode of the first season and the first episode of the second. I have set up the DVR for the rest. Hopefully I’ll be able to watch tomorrow’s episode, but you never know.

F told me that he was finished work, so I started on the dinner prep. Tonight I did a couple of different veggie dishes. We had broccoli with a sesame dressing and also fried cabbage. That one had some bacon and onion in it too. Both received praise and I think I’ll make again. I also did garlic pork, so earlier in the day I had to marinate the pork.

Dinner turned out quite well. F didn’t make me wait before he came over and even though he didn’t eat a lot, he seemed to enjoy and appreciate it, so that was nice. Sometimes F “accuses” me of only cooking meat, but we had salad, broccoli, and cabbage on the plate too, so I think he’s wrong about that.

I did the dishes because F was in bad condition again and I didn’t think there was that many. I could have let him, but lately when he does them, I end up re-doing a bunch of them as he doesn’t seem to see the dirt on the dishes that I do!

We had a fairly quiet and nice evening. I went over to the couch and sewed one tree together. Now I have to make a few baubles for it and a tree trunk. I also have to sew the other tree together too. I pressed the first one into shape with the iron first, I might do that with this one too.

Tomorrow I have to pack my suitcase and make sure that I have everything I need with me. If the weather allows, I’d like to run out and mail my Christmas cards and possibly run to the drugstore or something.

I will most likely write tomorrow night, but in case something comes up, I’ll be back on Monday or Tuesday. Don’t miss me too much! Until tomorrow….

As I read this book I had a couple of thoughts....She was very racist, although she would probably not have realized so as a product of her time. The other thought was how little things have changed in Japan since her travels! Oh, of cou...

I enjoyed this group of short stories. The first one is the best by a longshot, but the others have interesting ideas. Be aware that there is a lot of sex in the last short story and it is quite graphic.
I would be interested in reading...
